XSTO Mobility has unveiled the X12 all-terrain mobility robot, priced at $27,999, designed to assist wheelchair users in overcoming stairs and other obstacles. Weighing approximately 115 kg and capable of carrying up to 136 kg, the X12 features a hybrid wheel-track chassis that allows it to navigate stairs autonomously, with a climbing speed of 25 steps per minute and descending speed of 30 steps per minute. The robot utilizes LiDAR and AI algorithms for real-time terrain perception, enabling it to adjust its driving mode and power output dynamically.
The introduction of the X12 is significant as it addresses mobility challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, particularly in environments lacking accessibility features. With the ability to climb slopes of up to 40 degrees and traverse gaps of 300 mm, the X12 offers a solution that goes beyond traditional mobility aids. XSTO Mobility, based in Zhongshan, Guangdong, has been developing embodied mobile robots for over a decade, and the X12 represents a substantial advancement in this field, emphasizing user independence and safety.
Looking ahead, XSTO Mobility has reported that orders for the X12 are already booked until April 2026, indicating strong market demand. The robot is currently available in over 70 countries, and its innovative design has garnered multiple awards. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication regarding additional product releases or enhancements.
